Inspiration for an English index to the Mennonitische Rundschau--a German-language Mennonite newspaper that ran from 1878 to 2007--came from the comments of many researchers frustrated in their attempts to find specific articles and historical information in the thousands of printed pages. The task is even more intimidating when relevant material may be tucked away in sections of correspondence, congregational and local reports, or simply untitled news briefs. Only by reading the articles and sifting them through a grid of internationally recognized subject headings can the information be made accessible to researchers. This is the fourth of six such indices published by the Centre for Mennonite Brethren Studies in Winnipeg. In addition to the indexing committee, special thanks goes to Bert Friesen for the compilation.
